Gameplay tip: Check if the enemy you killed has any friends. because there's always one more. always.

"You need to extract with everything on you without getting dead..." Getting Dead... I like that term.

If this is the non-confusing guide, I don't even wanna know what the confusing guides are like 😂

damn, would have to quit my job and do this full time just to get started

A slight revision you should make, if a body part hits 0 it can't be healed until you repair it with a CMS or SURV12 surgical kit. This is a very good beginner guide, you've done a great job.

Holy shit this game has a ton of small details that affect everything. Like the walk speed and roating items around to fit in your bag just blows my mind

Holy cow this streamlined/less rambly guide was EXACTLY what i needed. I've had this game installed for like 6 months but never played it much because of how confusing/difficult it was. Yours tips/guide got me inspired to actually give this game the shot it deserves. I feel like i learned more about Tarkov in these 12 minutes than 6 months of playing lmaoo Thank you!!

One KEY importance that new players need to know, is where npcs spawn on the map. This is probably the most vital element that new players will otherwise struggle with - especially because time-to-kill is so minimal and even if you survive an npc encounter, you may very likely bleed out. Dying in a random area by some npc that saw you through some foliage or whatever, is very common. You won't even know they're there until you've taken a bullet to your body, and by that time new players are done for. Randomly walking into npc areas is a major hazard - also because these are the areas that often attract skilled players as well due to the nearby loot etc. So TLDR; Try to learn all the npc zones on a map, so you know ahead of time what you're getting yourself into, and know to be on the lookout. It will also help you realize which parts of maps you can run through, and which parts require more caution, so you don't end up crouch walking through everything and waste time needlessly.

This is by FAR the clearest most helpful guide / explanation to what EFT is. I have watched at least 3 other guides in the past and was honestly usually more confused after watching them. Thanks for the content 👌👌👌

I almost never comment on videos, but this starter guide is literally 10/10. I feel way more confident about going into the game now! Thank you!

this video was perfect, didnt ramble on about stuff i wont remember, is was a quick snappy pitch that was easy to follow, thank you

I was mid-way through a 40 minute beginners guide and saw this, life-saver, quick, efficient, and straight up.

ive been playing for quite awhile but this guide is quality. one thing tho, never wear a kolpac helmet xD lol

A continuation of the stock folding. If your AK is not folding its stock it means there is a mod on it that is preventing you from folding it. Usually it’s a dovetail mount(think SVD lowside or B13) or in the case of the AKS74U a few of the hand guards causes you to not be able to fold the stock. To fold it simply take either the dovetail mount off and then fold and put it back on. In the case of the AKS74U this can not be done in raid. Also I highly suggest if you aren’t already, ingrain yourself in guns and gun culture. If I didn’t already know a lot about firearms and firearm mods I don’t think I would have kept playing, it would have been the straw that broke my “not knowing wtf I’m doing this isn’t fun” back. Btw 10/10 video, all of it was GREAT information for new players. A lot of the other guides get a bit to complicated to fast. I wish this video was out when I was new.

i spent the first 10 hours on the game spawning as a scav and mag dumping other scavs thinking they were hostile......

"You can scroll the mouse wheel to dynamically change how fast your walk speed is" I knew all those hours invested 100%ing Chaos Theory would come useful again.

omg this guide helped so much, i watched another one a while ago that took 40 mins, and i would have to go back and search for the section i needed to figure something out, this basically covers everything i needed

Knew most of this, still surprised how much info it was giving me. Played the game for a bout 2 years with very long breaks, this video motivated me again! Thanks for this man. Good job !

I've been playing for a couple weeks, and I was happy to see that this guide had nothing new to teach me. That being said, this is put together REALLY nicely. Clear, straightforward, and digestible. Nice job breaking this down for new players. I wish I had found this a few weeks ago!

This is exactly what I needed to jump in right after I downloaded. A few things you covered I would not have even thought to check and ended up making/saving me a lot of rubles. You've for sure earned a sub my guy.

Thanks for this!!! Keep these coming. Tinkered with this game and want to devote more time to it. Love the concept and would love to see more how to vids. I like your straight to the point explanations.

I honestly think going through the small things like the keybindings(I know you can see them in settings) that someone might not think to look for, especially when there’s SO many other elements going on as a new player, is definitely helpful. As a new player I’ve watched so many “new player guides” that aren’t for new players at all. Great guide sir, earned a sub!

I've watched a few guides/reviews on this game and this just pushed me over the edge. Thank you for leading me to a new purchase!

I was on the fence about getting EFT, but for some reason this video made me really hyped about it. Great video and great explanations

I've been trying to find a good beginner video for a buddy of mine who's considering buying the game and this one is great! Thanks man!

this is the most amazing guide video ever, everything has time stamps which i love even though i watched every second of this video but keep it UPPP

This game is so much more interesting than I was expecting. It's sort of like The Division's Dark Zone meets EVE Online or something. I've watched gameplay videos before, but it took your guide for me to understand what was actually going on and how the game is structured. Thanks!

I know I’ve said this before but this guy hands down makes the most clean and direct videos on youtube.

This was a well thought out video! wish i woulda watched this when i first started the game! Thanks. Goodluck and keep on raiding!

Great video, thanks dude. I saw so many long videos about this game just now and was happy to see one from Broomstick

First video of yours ive watched (AFAIK). Your non rambling smooth, less abrasive and loud style reminds me of Rocket Jump Ninja and his mouse reviews and such. Much appreciated and enjoyed. Can sit relax and listen without needing to adjust my volume for one reason or another.

Great video! Thanks for the simple, and great help.

Finally a no fluff tutorial. Great job! Thanks!

This was the best type of introductory video I have ever seen for a game. Thank you so much!

Very concise and helpful, thank you! Would love to see this done for all kinds of games, you have a real talent for this!

This was a vastly superior introduction to the game than is provided in game. Thank you for that. It would be much better if the devs actually had this kinda stuff in game and also if they added a map system. The prevalence of third party maps leaves players that don't seem them out at a massive disadvantage. If they could do a mobile app for maps that would also be cool.

What an great guide i will recomend this to my firends that just startet playing Tarkov.

Super helpful. Been roaming around trying to get a grip with things and this gave me more than a few tips to finish a run, appreciate it.

Totally crushed what you set out to accomplish. Concise is an understatement, well done.

New to the game, this was a good place to start. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the very compressed and easy-to-understand info!

Best guide I've ever seen, clear and right to the spot, without useless talking. Great job.

I have been wondering what this game was about for a while, your video gave me a much better understanding of the style of game that this is. Excellent video!

A guide that isnt 4 hours long, woah. Thanks, good set of quick tips!

Omg this was informative.

Thank god for this, I do not think that I could have dealth with the 1 hour "short" guides, but this made a lot of things make more sense, namely searching and extract, so my thanks to you fine fellow.

Literally installing the game right now and wanted a video to give me a couple hints before I start, this was perfect! Thanks!

"I feel like I just explained humans" made my day

Thanks for the guide, its definitely helpful. As a brand new player though, I just can't seem to compete at all with players that have even average equipment. I mean the other day I got 18 hits in a row on a guy and didn't even seem to scratch him and then he proceeded to kill me in just 2 or 3 shots right after with a similar weapon. I guess it's about the ammo, and I tried looking at ammo charts to get myself some more effective rounds but then it seems like none of the traders offer any of those rounds, and in fact they only seemingly offer the very worst rounds. I mean sure, once or twice I have gotten lucky and killed a player that had some good gear(at least I think it's good gear), but largely it just seems like the same thing where I dump a full clip at them and my shots either go in random directions around them or hit them but do less than an airsoft pellet, and then they quickly mow me down in the blink of an eye. Yeah, I'm sure some of it is that they know more about the game than I do, but I think the other part is that they have access to the flea market and thus better/cheaper gear. And I can't access that until level 15, which seems like such a far way off when half the games I play I end up getting killed before I can even gather very much XP. Seems like a fun game with a good concept, but from a beginners perspective it's very unfriendly and punishing.

Amazing how a 12min video makes everything so less complicated, defo going to be watching this and many more again and again

This is a pretty sick basic guide! Probably the one I'm gonna give friends now if they need a quick guide. Thanks!

This was exactly what I needed to give this a try, thank you!

Cheers man i just bought this game and looking forward to scaving

Just got the game yesterday to play with my cusion and his friends and I’m glad you made it easy to understand the basic and not hold them back as much thanks man

Great guide my dude. Thanks for making everything so succinct and orderly.

My Top 3 tips for new Tarkov players. 1. AMMO IS KING 2. AMMO IS KING 3. AMMO IS KING It’s not the gun it’s the ammo.

Awesome guide, i've been playing for a while but still learnt something new!

Great video mate. Been playing for 3 nights now, and this game does my head in, and I love it.

Wow this was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for creating this video!

9:57 *"I think I just explained humans"* 😂😂😂

One thing I always laugh at, it's kind of a inside joke to "withhold information" in our group to troll each other. Notice the green box above handbook saying he has over 99 things to check. Well, I used to think you had to actually click all of them and since i have ocd, I wanted that green box off my screen. My friends purposefully withheld that you can just click the green box and they all go away.

very short sweet to the point for someone with many hours watching with a good idea this still helped me thank you!

I enjoyed the no BS style, no frills approach to introducing what as a new player feel like important things to know.

1:00 with the scope if you press ALT +RMB the reticle with light up, it's the PRISM 2x Scope

this is actually a really high quality video

Thanks for this guide! I'm new to EFT and compared to others...this was much simplified and informational!

Hey thanks for the amazing video just started to play yesterday and watched this such good stuff in this video!

I dont play any of the games u make videos for but i freaking love ur videos. 😎🤘

I haven't started playing this game but I wanna get it and this guide really did a lot to help figure stuff out.

Just bought the game and needed a video like this. Keep up the good work, Alex!

enormous help, didn't knew how the extrations worked, now i do, thanks mate!

I am crossing my finger that you will do more guides for EFT, because I just started playing this and I love the quality of your video!

You can assign a hotkey to usable items such as meds by mousing over and pressing 1-9

Extremely helpful. Thanks mate

This is what I needed. Just finished my first scav raid, succes, and wanted to quickly know couple things before going PMC. All I needed to know was there. thanks!

Very useful. I just came to the conclusion that games are getting so complicated and overwhelming that it is now difficult for me to ''just have fun'' when you have so much stuff to focus on and manage.

Very great guide. The one thing that could be more explained is the importance of the right ammo type. Ammo kills - not the weapon. That is a realy big Trap in Tarkov. With that shown PRS Ammo you only will fail.

Best guide I’ve seen so far for EFT well played good sir 👌🏻😊

PERFECT video! I jumped in completely blind and while I picked some things up, I still felt lost after a few hours. Thanks for the help!

Just started. Lost all the guns, and now playing as scav...

"by getting dead"

Short and informative guide. Needed this so badly :)

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. I really didn't want to sit through an hour long video just to get started with the game.

what i recommend new players do is buy bank robbers and sks or mosins at first. learn stash runs on customs (or any map that has stashes) and try to avoid as much combat as possible. i know it sounds like a rat way to do it but you will find stuff for your hideout, acquire more money, and find quest related items. use it as a way to learn maps and extracts while also getting loot. once you feel comfortable with the map and have some money, then buys guns you want to use and chad around. i hope this helps out you guys :)

I think the closet thing to this on console Is probably Hunt Showdown. Which is very different than Tarkov, but it has a similar get in complete objective get out style of gameplay.

Extremely good guide! Only been playing a few weeks. this helped alot!

Extremely helpful guide. Short and sweet.

cool video

"I feel like I just explained humans" I couldn't help but do a sensible chuckle! HAHA! XD

Best, most simple, straightforward guide. Good work 👌🏻

Man.... you don't even know how much this has helped me. I've always had friends on this but i never jumped on the train simply due how intimidating this entry-level knowledge is. It was a lot to grasp so i never truly gave EFT the chance it deserves. This video changed everything lol. Kudos to you homie

''Getting dead'' sentence of the year

A big thing for new players to learn is how to liquify items they won’t use/need in-order to save space and money.

Thank you for respecting my time with this clear and concise guide!

This is one of those moments where watching the video is so much faster than reading a quick guide. So much stuff perfectly distilled here!

important thing to note is that just because the ammo goes into the mag does NOT mean it works with the gun make sure you are using the right ammo by checking the caliber of the weapon and ammo there is also a "chamber" slot in every weapon where you can drag ammo to see if it works with the gun

Really great beginners guide! ...who says "tar-KOV" though?

Great vid man, helps a lot to put together all the puzzle pieces!

This is so good buddy! Nice work on this game!
